Getting in touch via IRC

Most of the core developers can be found in the #firebreath channel on irc.freenode.net.  There is a web client that you can use for quick questions.

Если говорите по-русски, то можно `#firebreath-ru`.

You can also look at the [channel logs|http://logs.firebreath.org/].

The next best way to get in touch with us (or the best way if we're not around on IRC) is to join the FireBreath Google Group:

    Re: [firebreath-dev] browser becomes standstill
    Are you doing the rendering and such on the main plugin thread? You shouldn't be doing anything cpu intensive on that thread, as a general rule, because it can slow down the rest of the browser.

    Also, which OS?

    Re: [firebreath-dev] Support JS Object Construction in FireBreath
    It would be awesome if you could put this on firebreath.org somewhere. (in case you didn't know, firebreath.org is a wiki that anyone can edit)

    Support JS Object Construction in FireBreath
    Hi, all,
    I have done some experiments in FireBreath to support JS binding for object
    construction, e.g. "new TestObj()" and made it work. I would like to share
    my experience with everyone in case you need to do the same thing in the
    future.
    You must have known how to bind a function or an attribute to an existing
    Re: [firebreath-dev] Sending the event from plugin to JS layer
    getRootJSAPI() in your plugin class will give you the FB:JSAPIPtr class for your JSAPI object. boost::dynamic_cast<YourPlugin API>(getRootJSAPI()) will give you a YourPluginAPIPtr cast of the root JSAPI object that will have your methods on it.

    Sending the event from plugin to JS layer
    Hi,

    I'm using Firebreath environment to develop a NPAPI plugin abstracting the
    media player engine of ours to create a web based player.

    I'm stuck with the following problem. I've following files,
    MyPlugin.cpp
    MyPluginAPI.cpp
    Player.cpp

    MyPluginAPI.cpp/MyPluginAPI.h contains the methods and events I register

    browser becomes standstill
    Hi all,
    we are developing a 3d plugin using firebreath. we render buildings and the
    globe in the plugin(like google earth).
    when the plugin renders many buildings(of course it takes much GPU and
    CPU), we can fluently browse in our plugin window.
    but when we move the mouse out of plugin window to interact with the
    Windowless redraw is slow in Window Safari
    While other browsers are fine, I do find that windowless drawing of 20 ms
    cycle in Safari is not achievable. I've done up a simple test which shows a
    small rectangle moving left to right on a 20 ms interval. If compare Safari
    with other browsers, the rectangle moves slower than the rest. If I set it

    heinob,
    As I mentioned that the DLL could be found after execute register32 by
    hand. Up to now, I still don't know why I can't build WiXInstall.vcxproj on
    Win2008 Server 64 bits, and I have no idea how to fix it.

    Richard,
    I am not sure how to use heat.exe. I try to use heat.exe to generate wxs

    You will likely need to have your wrappers in a second dll called by fb on

    I have created the wrapper for the same but to invoke each method,

    Re: [firebreath-dev] WiX compile fail on Win2008 64-bits
    WiX can only successfully "compile", if it can successfully register your
    plugin. So to exclude that error reason you should try to register your
    plugin-DLL "by hand". If that succeeds, there is another reason. if it
    fails --> find the reason why.

    Re: [firebreath-dev] WiX compile fail on Win2008 64-bits
    heinob,
    My problem is compile fail when build WiXInstall. :(

    Richard,
    I find build\projects\MyPlugin\npfbPl ugin_auto.wxs in 64-bits seems to leak
    some information. Why this file miss some content? How could I make this
    file correct?

    ***incorrect in 64-bits***:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    Re: [firebreath-dev] WiX compile fail on Win2008 64-bits
    That is quite easy: Try to register your DLL with regsvr32.exe. If it
    succeeds all DLL's shich are loaded by your DLL are there. If it fails,
    something is missing. Remember that all dependend DLL's have to be
    reachable (means staying in the same directory as your DLL or in
    \Windows\System32).
    Re: [firebreath-dev] WiX compile fail on Win2008 64-bits
    Is there a particular reason why you need 64 bit support on windows? I don't know why wix wouldn't be working; you'll have to troubleshoot that yourself. Try using heat.exe from wix to harvest the com info from a 64 bit dll, that will shed light on it.

    Also, if you're using vs2010 pro (not express) you shouldn't need the windows sdk.

    Re: [firebreath-dev] WiX compile fail on Win2008 64-bits
    Thanks for your reminder, I use IE64/Firefox(64) to run the 64-bits DLL
    (directly build code without running WiX), and it works well.

    You say maybe it is missing a DLL in 64 bits.-->It means maybe WiX ToolSet
    is missing a DLL in 64 bits? If yes, How could I find the root cause and
    come out solution?
